Operation Castle is an ongoing campaign that was given particular focus during December and January.

A total of 138 arrests were made when officers used a range of tactics in a bid to reduce break-ins to homes in Dorset.

Detective Inspector Andy Dilworth of the Bournemouth and Poole Priority Crime Team told the Daily Echo: “The operation involved a warrant, which was part of Operation Castle.

“We had information that led us to believe that persons connected with burglary lived at this address.”

A 22-year-old woman and a 35-year-old man were arrested on suspicion of burglary and a 33-year-old man, wanted in connection with other offences, was also arrested.

DI Dilworth said latest figures have revealed a 6.6 per cent fall in burglaries in the county in the last year.

He added: “During Operation Castle we continued to focus on targeting suspected offenders and work in partnership with other agencies.

“We also stepped up patrols in vulnerable areas and worked with neighbours and community groups to spread the crime prevention message to residents.”

He said there is still more work to do and added: “My final message to the public is do not be complacent. If you see someone acting suspiciously in your area please call us on 101 or 999 if a crime is in progress so we can send officers and investigate.”

From the point of view that large numbers of burglaries are often committed by small numbers of offenders, and clearly innocent until proved guilty too, but... very well done police!

And if you are one of the very many law abiding citizens that think it is fine to pick up the occasional 'bargain item' from a dubious source or from someone with a "too good to be true story".... please please don't do it. It is demand for stolen goods which fuels the supply and perpetuates the true misery caused by burglars.

Um, no, there aren't 59 Rehab centres; there are 2, the figure of 59 was the number of addresses where people attending Rehab could "potentially" be housed, these addresses would more than likely be used to house people with mental health issues or learning difficulties rather than people in rehab; it was an attempt by Bournemouth Borough Council to explain the high rate of drug related crime in the area; in reality the area had problems long before the 2 rehab units opened, that's why they were opened in that area rather than elsewhere.

You can stand by your previous comment but it's factually incorrect to state that statistic referred solely to rehab centres. The figures actually referred to any drug or alcohol rehabilitation service which included supported housing, hostels, HMOs, etc - anywhere that provided any form of service to people in recovery. That could be one person in recovery sharing a HMO with 5 other people without alcohol issues, providing accommodation helps their rehabilitation but it doesn't make that whole HMO a rehab centre.

I do however agree there are probably unscrupulous unregulated services in Boscombe. Plenty of people get away with ripping off the taxpayer in Boscombe, you just need to look at some of the accommodation available for rent! If people can find a service they can rip people off for Boscombe is the place to execute their plan.

According to Bournemouth council & Dorset police, in 2013 there were 59 alcohol and drug rehabilitation centres in Boscombe.
This is a fact.

Um, no, there aren't 59 Rehab centres; there are 2, the figure of 59 was the number of addresses where people attending Rehab could "potentially" be housed, these addresses would more than likely be used to house people with mental health issues or learning difficulties rather than people in rehab; it was an attempt by Bournemouth Borough Council to explain the high rate of drug related crime in the area; in reality the area had problems long before the 2 rehab units opened, that's why they were opened in that area rather than elsewhere.

There might be two regulated rehabilitation centres In Boscombe, but there are many more unregulated centres and other facilities in the area. I stand by my previous number.

You can stand by your previous comment but it's factually incorrect to state that statistic referred solely to rehab centres. The figures actually referred to any drug or alcohol rehabilitation service which included supported housing, hostels, HMOs, etc - anywhere that provided any form of service to people in recovery. That could be one person in recovery sharing a HMO with 5 other people without alcohol issues, providing accommodation helps their rehabilitation but it doesn't make that whole HMO a rehab centre.

I do however agree there are probably unscrupulous unregulated services in Boscombe. Plenty of people get away with ripping off the taxpayer in Boscombe, you just need to look at some of the accommodation available for rent! If people can find a service they can rip people off for Boscombe is the place to execute their plan.

Yes but your figures are meaningless unless you tell us how many centres there are in other similar sized towns. They may have the same or more which means Bournemouth is no different from anywhere else.

"Police using stronger clue in an attempt to patch up some of the broken china in a corner of the china shop - bull is still running free in the other part of the shop".

As long as landlords continue to be paid top whack for renting out unfit slums then they will continue to bring in these 'undesirables' as tenants.

Taxpayers are funding this lucrative scam ... and suffering the all consequent damage.

Why don't the council deal with the causes .... too many snouts in the trough perhaps ?

Is there any subject where in your eyes it is not the fault of landlords?

It seems not.

for one, your inability to read posts

the blame is laid at the door of the council
